In the United States, one of the biggest issues that every state is experiencing is the shortage in doctors. Primary Care Physicians make up a huge percentage of the shortage in doctors. The Midwest took a huge hit by this shortage, especially in rural Indiana. In Indiana today, there are approximately 3,900 primary care physicians. Most primary care physicians are located more towards bigger cities such as Indianapolis, but due to the high demand for primary care physicians, it is difficult to see a primary care doctor. According to pulse today, a primary care physician sees on average more than 25 patients a day and it is believed to increase if this shortage is not addressed in the next decade.
